Maybe you're more prone to sadness than you think.
By Emily Ratay — Written on Apr 27, 2017
Depression can hit us all. Whether you just have the blues one day or you can’t seem to stop crying no matter what you do, depression is one giant, sucky spectrum of emotion.
But what’s worse than being weepy one day and feeling worthless the next is that depression can come out of nowhere.
You might actually wake up and convince yourself that today is going to be a good day, but by the time afternoon rolls around, you find yourself wishing you were back in bed.
We’ve ALL been there. And I don’t know about you, but it doesn’t always help me when someone puts there two cents in.
Why? Because we all have different ways of dealing with depression. So, just because watching movies in bed until you feel better works for you doesn’t necessarily mean it’s going to work for me.

Some zodiac signs are more prone to being depressed than others. Those who are more intuitive, emotional, and connected to others are more likely to be depressed because they are always thinking about how they can help others.
You might be one of these people.
If you have ever felt sad when one of your best friend’s has a bad day, a sadness that you can’t seem to get rid of until they feel better, then you’re probably one of these signs.
Being emotional can be a good thing and a bad thing. For one, you always express your emotions and there is no worry about whether you’re being honest with yourself.
On the other hand, it can be hard to know when it’s appropriate to be open with your emotions.
You can’t expect to be able to control your emotions whenever you want to, especially with feelings of depression and sadness.
But you can understand why you’re feeling this way. And it might help to acknowledge how you’re feeling because it can help you get out of your funk.
Find out which zodiac signs are more likely to be depressed by reading below.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
Taurus is prone to depression because she prefers to be with someone she loves instead of spending time alone.

Depression can hit a Taurus hard and when she least expects it.
To those who don't know her, it can look like mood swings that never stop, but to a Taurus, it's just her trying to adjust to everyday life.

Unfortunately, her dreamy outlook on life isn't realistic.
When Pisces gets depressed, it's usually because she can't control her life as much as she wants, however she always tries to keep her chin up, even when it's hardest for her.
